There was an article in the WSJ today about the media acting like police investigators on this case. Media sources are getting in “experts” who have never seen any of the people, the places, or the evidence in the case, and yet they are coming out with official-sounding pronouncements, all aimed at “convicting” Zimmerman.

The WSJ pointed out that it is going to be very hard for him to get a fair hearing now.

Does it really matter? I don’t think its on any official statement from Zimmerman himself. It was said by his father once *maybe* and now the press is running with it trying to say Zimmerman is lying about the incident.

Doesn’t give much a darn about his reputation or the reputation of his organization, does he? He seems to have chosen a network that has given up any pretense of respectability. They’re a matched pair.

Nuts, I wish I would have known about this doctor yesterday morning. I went to a dentist who, after taking x-rays and performing a hands-on examination declared that I needed a root canal.

Had I known about Friedman, I just could have sent him a cell phone video, he could have diagnosed it from afar as a a piece of broccoli (or whatever) stuck between my molars — and I could have saved a ton of money.

I read the story on my ABCNews iPad app then opened in the safari browser to cut and paste. My original link does not seem to work fully using IE???

I posted the article because the author Matt Gutman seems hell bent on convicting Zimmerman in the court of public opinion. He’s trying to make a name for himself, but we are busting him. FR is great at doing that.

I wonder how many doctors they asked, who said, “.... you can’t tell whether a nose is broken from the outside....” before they found this one, who would go on recorda as saying there was “little evidence”. Possibly dozens.

Folks, what we're seeing is right from the Saul Alinsky handbook. Isolate, attack and destroy.

For instance, "isolate" the injuries to the back of Z's head. "Attack" the fact that they're even there. Then" destroy" his affirmation of injury over the air waves.

Then isolate the screams, attack his affirmation it was he that was screaming, then get audio "experts" to attest it was not Z crying out for help.

Then go for the broken nose....get some medical hack to state it didn't look broken on TV, hoping to destroy the claim.

Then isolate blood or no blood on the shirt, rain or no rain, white skin or brown skin....isolate everything, attack it, nuance it, spin it, destroy the premise.

Watch for everything leading up to the shooting and afterwards being dissected, parsed, analyzed, torn apart, one by one. Watch for all kinds of "experts" being trotted out. You're seeing all this now, almost hourly, is this not so?

This is a carefully plotted Alinsky-assault against Mr. Zimmerman, nothing is being left to chance. The liberal fascists in the racist movement and their allies in the controlled media cannot afford to lose this one. They're too heavily invested in seeing Zimmerman hang by the neck till dead. They will not relent their assault even in the face of hard evidence against their agenda.....or even if riots and arson erupt in their own backyards.

Wonderful this Doc sounds like he has xray vision and can see a break with his naked eyes since he did not touch or inspect the inside of the nose (or the outside other than a fuzzy video)Bleeding is one sign of a possible broken nose.

I actually wondered about this when I first saw the pictures. I boxed competitively for years and have seen and suffered many broken noses. In my experience they bleed like a faucet and get very red and swollen within minutes. I would have expected to see his shirt drenched in blood and a very red, swollen nose. But I’m no doctor and there may very well be types of hairline nose fractures that don’t display these characteristics.

Kobe Bryant suffered a broken nose in the NBA all star game. Very little (if any) blood. No deformity of the nose. The only clue was is expression of pain at the time of injury and the next few games he wore a protective mask.
